✧.* Hello! My name is Blossom, and I'm glad that you came across my bio. ✧.*

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ About Me as a Listener  *ੈ✩‧₊˚

Everyone needs a space where they can feel safe and understood, and that is very valid. We all have our challenges and struggles that we need to work through, and we don't want to be invalidated or disrespected for our acts of the present and past. I know how difficult it is to trust others, as well as reach out for support, and coming on here already shows how much courage you have in your heart.

I am someone who you can reach out to if you need a safe and empathetic space to share any challenges you are facing. I am not allowed to give advice under any circumstances, but I will provide the encouragement and compassion that I know a lot of us need in this world. I would love to chat with you, not just as a listener, but as a friend. You are not alone in this world, and I hope to show that you can share whatever you are going through or get your heavy feelings off your chest. You are special and wonderful, and I will be here to listen and stand by you all the way.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Status Key *ੈ✩‧₊˚

❋ Available ➩ This means that I am available to take any personal requests for a 1-1 chat. I will respond to any private messages very promptly. 

❋ Busy ➩ This means that I am on the site, but I am busy taking another chat or with other matters on here. I will respond to any private messages as soon as possible.

❋ Offline ➩ This means that I am not on the site right now. I will respond to any private messages within 24 hours. Until then, please browse for another listener here.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Chatting Options *ੈ✩‧₊˚

You can request any of the following chatting options:

Live Chats: All live chats will last 30 minutes to an hour depending on my availability. These chats would be most common for short-term members who I only meet a few times. For long-term members who would like to have live chats with me, we would need discuss possible time-frames when we can meet each week (even though offline chats would be recommended). When we schedule a chat, please be sure to let me know ahead of time if you need to cancel (ideally at least 10-20 minutes before our session). My days are usually pretty busy, so I will not stay on for more than 10 minutes into our session if you do not come online.

Offline Chats: These are more flexible chats where we can respond to one another at any time (ideally up to 24 hours since the last message). Otherwise, the chat will be laid out just like a live 1-1 chat. I will usually request this kind of chat for long-term members, since we are acquainted with one another already. When we go through an offline chat, please understand that my responses may vary from time to time, and I would appreciate your patience, just as I am patient with you.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Availability *ੈ✩‧₊˚

As of now, I am slowly taking 1-1 chats with members. For immediate chats, please browse for another listener. Thank you for understanding!

Additionally, my status will remain as offline for the time being, at least until I fall into routine again with regard to 1-1 chats. Feel free to message me any time and I will respond to you as soon as possible.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ My Chat Boundaries *ੈ✩‧₊˚

╰┈➤ Please be respectful to me just as I am respectful and compassionate to you. I am here to support you and empathize with any challenges you are facing, but I will not tolerate disrespect.

╰┈➤ The maximum chat length that I take is 30 minutes to an hour, depending on my availability. At the beginning of every live chat, I will be sure to mention how long we can chat.

╰┈➤ Please do not ask me to call you terms of endearment, such as "sweetheart" or "honey," unless I know you extremely well, as that makes me feel uncomfortable and goes beyond my personal boundaries.

╰┈➤ I do not take sexual health chats or sexual chats of any kind. If you request a sexual health chat, I will ask that you browse for another listener. However, if you intend to misuse private messages to make sexual advances toward me, the connection will be blocked immediately and you will be reported.

╰┈➤ I can take offline chats in addition to live chats, but please understand that I may not respond immediately, even if my status is orange (ie. busy). If my status is orange, that means I may be chatting with another member, and I do not take multiple chats at a time so that I can have my full attention on each member.

╰┈➤ I will be able to support the topics that I mention below to the fullest of my ability, so please be respectful of that. If I feel that I am not able to support you to the greatest extent possible with the topic of your choice, then I will recommend that your browse for another listener.

╰┈➤ If you see that I am participating in the group chatrooms or creating posts in forums, that does not mean that I am prepared to take 1-1 chats or reply to any private messages. Please understand that I have other responsibilities on this site as a listener, and I will respond to any private messages when I can.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Roles *ੈ✩‧₊˚

❀ Verified Active Listener: This means that I took a mock chat with a mentor, and then was verified as a qualified and committed active listener here at 7 Cups. My hope is that with this verification from the community, members will feel more comfortable reaching out, knowing that they will receive the support and empathy that they deserve.

Due to offline commitments, I had to discontinue the roles that I was previously in. However, the following is a list of my past roles, which I hope to reapply for in the near future:

❀ Forum Supporter (Self-Harm Recovery and Healthy Living Support Sub-Community): I dedicated my time in building a supportive, empathetic, and safe environment in our forums. In my respective sub-communities, my goal was to reply to members who gathered the courage to share their stories, come up with forum discussions and ice-breakers, check-in with our members weekly, and share information that members of the sub-communities may be interested in hearing.

❀ Peer Appreciation Check-in Host: The purpose of these check-ins is to expression our appreciation for our peers, ourselves, and the good things in our lives. We hope that these sessions will put a smile on your face, and show you that there are so many things we can appreciate in this world.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Special Listener Shout-Out *ੈ✩‧₊˚

*ೃ༄ @Daf8 *ೃ༄ — A special mentor-figure and an amazing person! Every time we meet in the Teen Listener room, she is super supportive and compassionate. She is the one who motivated me on my first day as a listener to be the very best I can be, and I'll never forget that day. She gave me amazing resources and encouragement that I still use to this day to remind myself that my support is meaningful and will make a difference to a person's life. I am honored to consider her a good friend, and I feel so fortunate to have met her. Keep being your wonderful self! ♡

Never change, my dear! You're a rock star! Wishing you the very best with everything. ♡
